It is possible to see clients who connected to my hostednetwork?

I set up a hosted network with my laptop using Windows 7.

I want to check all the clients who connected to it. Is it possible?

And is there any tool can manage it? For example, limit the net speed or something similar.


To view connected clients use command line

@echo off
netsh wlan show hostednetwork | findstr -i status
echo SSID Name
netsh wlan show hostednetwork | findstr -i " ssid "
netsh wlan show hostednetwork setting=security
echo Connected clients
arp -a | findstr -i 192.168.173 | findstr /V 255 | findstr /V 192.168.173.1

For bandwith control you can use NetLimiter.

Important thing to remember is that typically there is no DHCP server running on computer hosts. What this means is that there will be no IP address automatically assigned as is typically done when using a wireless router or access point.

Two options are available: either to use APIPA addressing (169.254.0.0/16) which will permit a connection between the two computers automatically when a DHCP server is unable to be contacted or using static IP addressing.

The two computers’ addresses can be seen in each other’s ARP tables using arp -a command in Command Prompt.

You cannot limit internet connection speed on W7 host with built-in features.


Just type arp -a at a command prompt.

In the list that is shown, find the adapter with the IP 192.168.137.1 and under this the first addresses are the ones assigned to clients sharing the connection.

My first client address was 192.168.137.251 for some reason.
